San Francisco Neighborhoods - West Portal Real Estate

West Portal residents tend to be solidly middle class
-- primarily firefighters, teachers, health-care workers and small-business
owners, according to 1990 census data. A third element is the neighborhood's
phobia about chain businesses, only a very few of which have gained
a foothold. West Portal's heart is the retail strip along West Portal
Avenue from the Muni tunnel to 15th Avenue, which is surrounded by densely
residential mini-neighborhoods tucked up in the surrounding hills.
